You Can't Do That on Television Quote
(Mrs. Prevert is coming Matthew's hair; Matthew is wearing a nice pink dress)
Matthew: Mother, you CAN'T do this to me!
Mrs. Prevert: Oh yes I can, Matthew. I read all about it in the National Scab. It said that through technological advances, mothers can now actually pick the sex of their children! And Matthew, I always wanted you to be a girl.
Matthew: But Mother, that is for mothers who are GOING to have children! Did you read all of the article?
Mrs. Prevert: Well, no, Matthew. The checkout line at the supermarket was moving so fast, I would have had to pay for the magazine if I wanted to read the whole thing.
